An Energy-Aware Predictive Longitudinal Control Framework for ADAS-Equipped Battery Electric Vehicles: Coupling Speed Planning with Regenerative Braking for Range Extension

In a battery electric vehicle, the way an adaptive cruise controller brakes decides how much energy a trip loses, because braking beyond the regeneration power limit is dissipated in the friction brakes. We develop a longitudinal model predictive controller that plans speed for s...

Targeting Oncogenic KRAS Using Peptide Nucleic Acid Oligomers Attached to Cell-Penetrating Peptides

Approximately 30% of tumors contain an activating mutation in the oncogene KRAS, leading to increased cell proliferation that often promotes non-small cell lung cancers, colorectal adenocarcinomas, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC), and other cancers. Among the most common...
